Biting into the Mirage of Green Growth with Timothée Parrique 💥🟢 Take a moment to consider that the Climate Tech VC community might have it all wrong... It's an honour to receive in Climate Insiders one of the rising experts of Degrowth and a brilliant French economist. He's made waves at the European Commission #BeyondGrowth conference (attached clip) and sold over 35,000 copies of his book on Degrowth 📖 "Slowdown or Perish: the Economics of Degrowth 💥" Sometimes it's good to disrupt the disprutors and face an Inconvenient Truth: the Climate VC space might be flawed as it stands... We dive into some thought-provoking topics: 🧚 Why Timothee challenges the notion of Climate Tech VC and green growth being a fairy tale. 📉 Going deeper in the concept of Degrowth as a viable alternative. 💡 How to Motivate the Top 10% to embrace a new narrative for a sustainable future.  🦠 Will a catastrophe on the scale of Covid prompt a shift away from capitalism?  🧘 Why the Well-Being Economy should be our collective future. Hope our conversation gives you other perspectives 🙏 🎧 Audio: https://lnkd.in/ezNVPqT5 💻 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/euPrDGpf #Degrowth #ClimateTech #Economics #Sustainability #WellbeingEconomy #Podcast #Innovation

💡 “We've seen too many times that the development of brilliant technology, brilliant solutions, ends up failing due to so many bottlenecks. With climate change, we need more of these ideas to come to fruition outside of the academic setting.” In the latest episode of Tom Raftery’s Climate Confident Podcast, Planet Positive Lab directors Dr. Micol Chiesa Churchill and Christiaan de Koning, PhD share their vision for their new climate venture lab—operated by Founders Factory, hosted by the University of Oxford. Micol & Christiaan share insights into: ⭐️ Their backgrounds as PhDs at Oxford, and realising the opportunity for a programme to help academic ideas get off the ground ⭐️ Who the programme is for (anyone with a link to Oxford - students, faculty, alumni, etc)  ⭐️ Three things they are looking for - commitment (this isn’t a short term project), passion (you’re not just here to make money), technical ability (scientific backing to your idea) Listen to the full podcast via the link below 👇 David Hickson | Jamie Rowles | henry lane fox | Laura Moross | Lee Bernasconi | Simon Lovick | Kelli Corney | henry lane fox | Planet Fund #climatetech #climatechange #accelerator #venture #founders

Check out Katy Raworth talk on doughnut economics! Came out with a feel there's something more beyond the argument of "there is no political consensus for degrowth". The key question is: who is going to pay for the climate and ecological crisis? global warming has unequal geographical and social impacts, and to fight against it requires addressing social justice issues. #postgrowth https://lnkd.in/eMSvEjMg

If you're working to transform business, finance or economics to make things sustainable (or better yet regenerative), you're not alone. In fact, in the 1970s, a group of trailblazing scientists paved the way for so much of what we're all now doing. The story of Donella Meadows and the team behind Limits to Growth, is our story. They faced similar challenges, hitting up against the interests that are wedded to endless growth on a finite planet. It's emotional to hear, but it's an education on everything #NewEconomics #PostGrowth #DoughnutEconomics #WellbeingEconomy. https://lnkd.in/eeQXuGRD
